PREFACE. 

Fellow-Members of 1913 : 

We believe that the compilation and publication of the accompanying biographi- 
cal data will prove of interest and value to each one of our number who is desirous of 
maintaining the friendly and filial relation that should exist between alumni and 
their Alma Mater. It will be of interest to those who have resolved not to so for- 
get themselves in their business and professional ventures as to selfishly forget or 
neglect all ties that bind them to the body of men with whom they were associated 
through the four critical years of undergraduate life. It will be of value in en- 
couraging such to establish a more intimate knowledge and relationship with the 
other members of the class and of thus widening the circle of personal interests as 
they watch for and follow the success and growth of the other '13 men. 

The insufficiency and incorrectness of the data at our disposal, although some- 
what anticipated, were much to be regretted by the editors. Successive attempts 
were made to reach every enrolled member so that our facts might be obtained 
first-hand ; these failed in quite a large number of cases, and the facts were there- 
fore supplied out of a limited knowledge. 

This work is being published in a gala day of Rutgers spirit when enthusiasm 
over the completion of 150 years of a most serviceful and honorable history and 
over the anticipation of continued long years of usefulness has stirred all to fresh 
resolutions of fidelity and devotion. May the men of 1913 show themselves to be 
lacking nothing in their reassertion of loyalty and the fulfillment of their vows of 
faithful allegiance to Rutgers. 

That this collection of historical data may prove valuable as an incentive for a 
more permanent and distinctive class unity, and that it may serve as another link in 
the chain of common and binding interests that we are forging year by year, re- 
union by reunion, is the sincere and mutual wish of— The Editors. 

A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT. 

Classmates of 1913, I extend to you a word of greeting. Our class history is 
written as a part of the anniversary celebration of our Alma Mater. As yet we may 
not have accomplished much. The years since we have passed from old Rutgers 
have been too few. I trust, however, that we are all beginning to see success in the 
future, and that we are learning to appreciate the benefits of the days spent at 
Rutgers. For this is a time of the reawakening of the spirit which all her sons 
feel. May that reawakening extend to each of us of the class of 1913. May our 
devotion and loyalty to her be shown by lining up to the standard which she sets 
for her men ; by our banding together closer as a class and doing our part in as- 
sisting in her advancement and development. Let us not let the passing of time 
affect the spirit which we have now, but lei us strive to return year by year to re- 
new old ties and friendships and to hold in remembrance our duties to our Alma 
Mater. 

F. J. Johnson, President. 



Undergraduate History. 

The undergraduate history of any class is only a succession of memories. And 
now, looking backward through the experienced eyes of three-years-out-of-college, 
we can smile indulgently at incidents and accidents which, in those earlier days we 
were wont to consider with all the tense seriousness of actuality. 

Take that first night in New Brunswick, for instance. The events pass in swift 
review like some "movie" we have once seen, but recall only dimly. The shadowed 
trip across lots to the rear of the gym, the atmosphere of expectant courage, the 
mingling of many voices, the triumphant, vibrating class yell, — all these, and more, 
seem but pictures which we sense only dimly and of which we were not a part. 
But those memories ! Time cannot dim them, for they came at an impressionable 
age when we stood on the brink of a new order of things. 

Looking backward, we realize now that our class was very much like other 
classes ; one hundred and twenty-odd boys, thrown together as a class unij, each 
individual destined to form friendships which constitute the most pleasant feature 
of college life. After that first night, we grew to know each other better. The 
year wore away ; we fought side by side in the various class rushes, and felt a 
swelling pride in the fact that five of our classmates won the coveted varsity letter 
in foot-ball. Together, we struggled through the "mid-years," watched regretfully 
while some fell by the wayside, and then struck out again confidently, smaller, but 
more unified. 

At the beginning of the second year, rejoicing in the newly acquired freedom 
of the Sophomore, we swaggered a bit, supremely secure in the self-satisfaction 
which comes only once in a lifetime. But we got over it eventually, and, as Juniors, 
smoked our pipes more thoughtfully and watched with speculative eyes the passing 
of the collegiate year. We began to make ourselves felt, and edited a Scarlet 
Letter which has been a model for ensuing volumes. 

Finally, the Senior year rolled around. We led the college to victory on the 
gridiron, diamond, and track ; took our places as leaders of the undergraduate body ; 
directed the trend of student life. One of our members gave Rutgers a new song 
book. We began to feel vaguely the new responsibilities, to sense dimly the call to 
the work for which the college had been training us. The soft clay of us had been 
moulded, gently, without us knowing, until at graduation we stood forth — finished 
products. 

That is the undergraduate history of the class of 1913. A succession of mem- 
ories made more real with the passing years ! Like other classes, to be sure, but 
more sacred, more vitally alive, more to be cherished, because it is our class of 
which we are integral parts ! 

Graduate History. 

The men of 1913 are still young as alumni, too young to have more than fairry 
started on their professional and business careers, and yet many of them have 
shown a spirit of ambition and determination that promises well for their ultimate 
success. As is the case with all classes, our men have scattered widely and may be 
found anywhere between "dear old Broadway" and the street of Shanghai, China, 
where "Billie" Ball is dispensing oil to the yellow race. 

As far as it is possible to estimate from the information at hand, an approxi- 
mate allotment of the men among the various professions would be as follows : 
Ministers S, Doctors 2, Lawyers 4, Teachers 15, Farmers 9, Journalists 6, Insurance 
2, Municipal activity 1, Chemists 8, Ceramists 2, Mechanical Engineers 7, Electrical 
Engineers 3, Civil Engineers 10, other lines of business 50. 

One thing especially commendable about the graduate life of the class is the 
fact that we have held a reunion each year at Commencement time, and each has 
been reasonably well supported. The first reunion was held on June 13, 1914 in 
the form of a business meeting and banquet at Hotel Klein, with about twenty-five 
members present. President Johnson presided in the chair and the following 
resolutions were adopted: (1) That each member be assessed fifteen dollars, pay- 
able within the next five years, and that this amount be given by the Class of 1913 
at its first five-year reunion to the Athletic Association with a recommendation that 
it be applied on a fund for the erection of a Field House. (2) That a committee 
be appointed to consult with other classes and college authorities concerning the 
changing of Alumni Day so as to provide for a more general participation of 



classes in the festivities of the day. (3) That a representative of the class be 
chosen to report for the Alumni Quarterly. (4) That a vote of thanks be ex- 
tended to the reunion and banquet committee for their efforts. 

Harold W. Schenck was elected class representative for the Quarterly. 

The following officers were reelected to serve for life : President, Frederick J. 
Johnson ; Vice President, Theodore Van Winkle ; Secretary, Harold W. Schenck ; 
Treasurer, George R. Merrill. 

After the completion of the business meeting, each member tried out as an 
impromptu speechmaker, faithfully swearing allegiance to class interests and 
promising hearty cooperation in all future reunions. 

The second reunion of the class was held on Monday evening preceding the 
1915 Commencement. In the afternoon, sixteen men dressed as sailors did their 
part to make the Alumni Parade a success. The dinner was held in the Quad room 
of Winants Hall at 7.30, with twentry-three men present. After an enjoyable 
"feed" a business meeting was called to order by President Johnson. E. R. Silvers 
reported for the Alumni Parade Committee, and Harold W. Schenck for the Dinner 
Committee, while George Merrill reported as Treasurer. The question of the class 
gift on the fifth reunion was discussed. The Class went on record as favoring the 
Saturday preceding Commencement as the best day on which to hold the Alumni 
Parade. 

The third annual reunion was held Monday, June 12, 1916, at 6.30 in Winants 
Hall, and was successful in that eighteen of the class were present, while almost 
thirty of them were able to be present sometime during the Commencement festivi- 
ties. Earl R. Silvers acted as chairman of the meeting. A motion was passed that 
the reunion in October be held in some place other than Winants Hall. The resolu- 
tions drawn up on the death of Lambert Jenkins Leonard were officially acted upon 
by the_ class. It was moved that a Committee be appointed to consider the award 
of a silver loving cup to that member of the class who could claim the first boy 
baby. Several stirring speeches were given, a strong class spirit characterizing the 
meeting.

Nu Sigma Nu fraternities. He is connected with the First Presbyterian Church of

JACK CHOB RICHER. 
93 Bruce St., Newark, N. J. 

Jack Chob Richer, son of Barnett Chob Richer, clothing manufacturer, and 
Minnie Dorothy Kass' Chob Richer, was born on January 15, 1893. We are taking 
Chobby's word for it that his ancestry consisted of a "long line of Rabbis and 
Musicians on mother's side as far back as 1603. Female ancestors all married very 
young. Paternal grandfather and great grandfather were each centenarians, big, 
large men." Which probably accounts for Chobby's massive frame. 

Jack, as he now calls himself, spent all his life in Newark, which event was 
probably duly commemorated in the 250th Anniversary Celebration of that city. 
He graduated from Barringer High School and attended the 13th Avenue Evening 
High School from 1907 to 1909. In recording the events of note in "his childhood, 
Ave must again quote Chobby. "Best mathematician in every class in every school, 
also prize orator and debater in high school for three years. Founded eight differ- 
ent literary and debating clubs, four of which are still existing. Met with many 
accidents in childhood, runaways, falls, escapades, etc. Great fighter and scrapper 
while in grammar school. Jumped through third story window to escape beating; 
unhurt except slight bruises. Cut tongue in two with putty-blower; run over by 
wagon while attempting to stop runaway." All of which goes to show that you 
can't keep a good man down. 

While in college, he continued his wonderful record. He won the Freshman 
Speaking Prize, was a varsity debater and a Junior Orator, crowning his career by 
election into Phi Beta Kappa. His chief athletic honor consisted in breaking all 
world's records for a fifty yard dash down Somerset Street at 9.30 in the evening. 

After graduation, Chobby attended the New Jersey Law School which still 
counts him among its most distinguished students. It is very probable that no other 
member of the school has had his tongue cut in two or has organized eight liter- 
ary societies, four of which are still existing. 

From June 1913 to September 1914, Chobby was secretary to the manager of 
the Edison Chemical Works, at Silver Lake, N. J. ; from September 1914, to March 
1915, he was head of the Stenography and Mathematics Departments of the Long 
Island Business College, at Brooklyn, N. Y., and from March 1915 to the present 
time he has been office manager of the Meyer Engineering Company of Newark. 



CLASSICAL SECTION. 9 

Honors continued to fall upon him after graduation. He is now president of the 
Literary Bachelors Club, president of The Forum, president of the Spectator Club, 
chairman of the Executive Committee of the Young Folks Civic League, and presi- 
dent of the Freshman Class (1918) of the New Jersey Law School. 

Chobby writes that he is not married as yet, and that he has no relatives among 
the Rutgers Alumni. But he jocularly remarks: "Am the first of a long line (per- 
haps)." He is also an author, having edited the Engineering Catalogue, Meyer Fan 
System, Price and Lee, 1915. 

But this isn't all. He has other achievements. Listen! "Considered among the 
younger element of the city a leader in connection with literary, civic and debating 
clubs. Wide range of accomplishments, all in pairs, viz., stenographer and account- 
ant, mathematician and statistician, pianist and violinist, orator and debater." In 
conclusion Chobby writes upon his questionnaire : "Have already given more than a 
modest man should. Will, therefore, say nothing more." 

Oh, modesty, what crimes are committed in thy name ! 

MILES ROSS. 
P. O. Box 23, New Brunswick, N. J. 
Miles (June) Ross, son of Millard F. Ross, a coal merchant, and Mary Dixon 
Ross, was born in New Brunswick, N. J., January 28, 1892. He graduated from

ternity, and when in college served on the Junior Prom and Senior Nominating
